Re: Maria Sophia ALEX

Since you do not know where she was from I will tell you that there were quite a few ALEX families in the Danzig (Gdansk) area, West Prussia, Germany in the 18th and 19th centuries.

I have ALEX ancestors, too, but do not know where they lived before 1847: Christian ALEX was married to Euphrosine WOHLGEMUTH and had the following children I know of: Christine, * 1847 in Bielsk, Kreis (county) Briesen, West Prussia, my greatgreatgrandmother, married to Jacob Julius HAAK Johann, * 1849 in Bielsk, married to Anna TEßMANN of Poland Anna Maria, * 1858 in Scherokopaß, Kreis Thorn, married to Eduard NELSON Caroline Bertha Auguste
